Circadian rhythms influence most of our life activities, notably getting up and going to sleep
every day. The new edition of this book delves into the mechanisms surrounding how these …

Body temperature is a continuous physiological variable. In normal healthy adults, oral
temperature is estimated to vary between 36.1 C and 37.2 C. Fever is a complex host …

Medical measurements and clinical trials are often carried out in controlled lab settings-
severely limiting the realism and duration of such studies. Our goal is henceforth to design a …

Fever is a readily measurable physiological response that has been used in medicine for
centuries. However, the information provided has been greatly limited by a plain …

The scientific and clinical value of a measure of complexity is potentially enormous because
complexity appears to be lost in the presence of illness. The authors examined the effect of …

We compared the daily rhythms of body core temperature and surface temperature in 10
Comisana ewes housed at thermoneutrality (25° C) and in the cold (9° C). Core temperature …

Body temperature is a health or disease marker that has been in clinical use for centuries.
The threshold currently applied to define fever, with small variations, is 38° C. However …

Background: Variations in body temperature are highly informative during an illness. To
date, there are not many adequate studies that have investigated the feasibility of a …

Many entropy-related methods for signal classification have been proposed and exploited
successfully in the last several decades. However, it is sometimes difficult to find the optimal …

Objective: To study if a 24‐h continuous monitoring of temperature reveals information not
accessible through conventional care. This included omitted fever peaks and circadian and …
